I am wondering if others experience regular denials for jobs because of the sabbath. I for one was once told I couldn't be allowed to keep it because it would be favoritism. I know someone who can't find work due to this. I know people who have been fired.

Where in the united states is it easier to find jobs that allow you to work sunday through friday?

I am thinking of letting one of them move in with me when I leave Mississippi.

I am leaving blindly hoping other states are more inclusive. Edit : sabbath = Friday night to Saturday night. We keep Torah law and are not part Judaism though we are abrFriday?

Edited for wording to get better feedback.

Hi,

I am not sda but my family keeps the sabbath.

My sibling went to school to be an automotive tech but graduated jobless. 2 years on he still cant get work. He said the dealerships don't want to allow him off on the sabbath. He tells me he cant find a job anywhere so far.

We live in mississippi. My dad has been fired from jobs because of the sabbath. I was told I couldn't allowed to keep the sabbath because it would be favoritism.

Do you have this experience? Are some states better than others with this?

Hopeless in mississippi.

Hello,

So my dad was a black out drunk when up until i was about 15 or so. He would get violent and my mom would take us and run to her in laws house. Some nights she would go looking for him with us in the car. One time she asked a congregation member for help with my dad and that guy laughed at her.

Anyway now my dad gets drunk about once or twice a quarter. He doesn't get black out drunk so far but it traumatizes us when it happens. He is unreasonable when he is drunk.

I just found out that while my little brother has been out of town doing work with dad's brother that uncle is getting drunk every night. That uncles daughter went on to marry an alcoholic herself.

I am starting to feel surrounded. It's made me think all men have alchohol issues. I live in rural mississippi and I want to move out of state. I am hoping in a more affluent diverse state I can meet people who are stable and don't drink or do drugs or get really angry.

But because this is all I have ever known part of me believes that most people have these vices.

Has anyone else ever felt this way? Did you ever find a group of people who changed your mind?

My brother needs a job so he works with my uncle. But I am so scared that he will take up alchohol too.
